this is a plurk to do with topping order shit, disclaimer that I tend to have strong topping order opinions, but actually this is a story about the second person I ever blocked on twitter dot com
a girl in love
the first person I ever blocked was because their entire twitter was caustic sarcastic joke tweets that would go back and forth expressing different conflicting opinions and I couldn’t tell which ones they meant and which ones they were making fun of
a girl in love
but the SECOND person I blocked was a super militant big masc tops/small femme bottoms only person who I did not actually interact with at any point, for obvious reasons
a girl in love
however, during my “fun times with bad mh decisions in the mdzs fandom” period, I scrolled back through their twitter to see what they tweeted around the time I posted Murk Song, AND THEY WERE IN FACT REALLY MAD ABOUT IT
a girl in love
by which I mean they were mad that I did not tag it with top jgy and/or bottom nmj. which on one hand I think is kind of fair, I did not use them only bc I felt weird putting them on a rape fic but I generally think it’s unfortunate that I have hangups/feel embarrassed about using those kinds of tags and wish they were more normalized
a girl in love
cuz they ARE super helpful
a girl in love
but like
a girl in love
IT’S A RAPE FIC. IT’S TAGGED AS A RAPE FIC. DID THEY READ IT? DID THEY JUST ASSUME NMJ WAS GOING TO BE THE ASSAILANT???
eyjaberry 🐑(🦁)
look into your heart you know the answer to be true
a girl in love
THEY WERE LIKE REALLY UPSET IT ENTERED THEIR SPHERE OF AWARENESS BUT ONLY BC JGY WAS THE ONE WHO STUCK IT IN. SO EITHER THEY READ ALL THE WAY TO THAT POINT JUST THINKING IT WOULD GO DIFFERENTLY SOMEHOW OR THEY DID CORRECTLY DEDUCE FROM THE TAGS AND SUMMARY HOW IT WOULD GO BUT JUST COULDN’T DEAL WITH THE MERE SUGGESTION OF IT IN THEIR SPACE?

"rape fic is fine but i cross the line at a manly dude getting raped by an effeminate waif"
eyjaberry 🐑(🦁)
(*descriptors from the perspective of that person. i am aware jgy is also masculine)
a girl in love
as someone who had to put bottom jgy into my eyeballs literally constantly 24/7 what’s it fucking like to be like ‘even being reminded other people have a different preference compared to mine sends me into an emotional tailspin’

kazuta you are simply describing the life of a white person

top order is mostly an east asian fandom thing that westerners are adopting tbf
chilly pepper
bc of tag rules etc
chilly pepper
this discussion actually came up earlier today in a server of mine (because the SEA people were talking about how their fandoms also adopt it from them bc of proximity)
a girl in love
oh no western fandom has had it. western fandom has had it for a longass fucking time and still does, we just have a really different attitude around it these days
a girl in love
but yeah the culture clash of running facefirst into the cn/sea fandom attitude around topping order was fucking wild
chilly pepper
yeah, i mean more that it's like. crazy important to the overseas fandom in comparison
a girl in love
90% of the reason I’m not into Genshin is because I legitimately went “actually I don’t feel like getting into another cn fandom ever again.”

friend described danmei fandom as "they're 10 years behind the rest of the BL fans"
kilmer．
god i remember it was super important back when i first got into fic in like. 2005. full blown fights about it and such
a girl in love
LMAO PEPPER I ALSO MADE NEARLY THAT EXACT JOKE
chilly pepper
HAHA
kilmer．
and then it became A Bad Thing as fandom grew more progressive and now it's like. if you have a preference at all it's homophobic why are you saying they can't be switches stop bringing back seme/uke shit!!!
a girl in love
eyjaberry 🐑(🦁)
: listen I just need to know if 1. they thought nmj was going to berserk and rape jgy 2. they thought jgy was going to be the assailant but not the top 3. they been knew and were just mad it existed at all 4. ???? other????
eyjaberry 🐑(🦁)
chilly pepper
im only in the orvtwt sphere but there's tons of nonreversible people but i have genuinely never seen anybody say something like "your pref is homophobic if they're not switches"
a girl in love
yeah that is specifically a western fandom gem
chilly pepper
i HAVE seen non-reversible people get really personally offended that someone might ship the reverse order or be multishipper tho which is fucking insane to me
a girl in love
mostly from like ~4 years ago, it’s kind of out of vogue now
eyjaberry 🐑(🦁)
option 4: they knew from the beginning and read through it anyway to validate their hate
a girl in love
although actually people do still go “people who have topping order preferences are fetishizing fujos”
nihaowdy
i just want people with topping order preferences to stop being so fucking militant AT OTHER PEOPLE
nihaowdy
twitter was a mistake and i do not regret uninstalling it
chilly pepper
yeah that's my issue with it
chilly pepper
Just Let Me Enjoy Things
nihaowdy
having a preference is like ok, you do you, i enjoy both ways but it's a matter of personal enjoyment
nihaowdy
why does random twitter artist i follow have to call me a terrible person for liking if diluc puts his dick in,
a girl in love
I just want people with topping order preferences to stop talking about child bearing hips or wifely soft jawlines in replies to every fanart on twitter
chilly pepper
a girl in love
: people absolutely still do this however i find myself pretty embittered when ppl say shit like "i am genuinely sick to my stomach/going to vom because [someone else likes X with Y-female-character]" (verbatim from some shit that went down in my friend circle semirecently)
a girl in love

i do not have the braincells needed to unpack that shit honestly and i won't try. my first block on my fandom twt
i do not have the braincells needed to unpack that shit honestly and i won't try. my first block on my fandom twt
a girl in love
but yeah I WILL ALSO SAY, IN THIS PERSON’S DEFENSE, THAT THEY DIDN’T GO ATTACK ME OR ANYTHING
a girl in love
they were complaining in their own space which was their god given right and I blocked them so neither of us would have to one day trip over each other because twitter is a hell site
a girl in love
people who go out of their way to make it other people’s problems are wild.
a girl in love
get on my level and just make it your own problem exponentially more until you have an actual meltdown and messily divorce half your twitter timeline
chilly pepper
kaz...
a girl in love
anyway I have no idea why I remembered this today but I still wonder to this day what was going on in this person’s brain.
